Take the timeTo stop and smell the flowersTo see the dew drops glistening on the leavesTo admire the dance of sunlight through the treesTo listen to nature's orchestra conducted by the birdsTo be mesmerized by the rippling of water on the lake

For, if you don'tThe dew drops will desiccateThe dance will disappearThe flowers will dry and witherThe orchestra will dwindleThe rippling will die downAnd all you will be left withWill be regret for the time that was.​
